Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
We moved a lot when I was younger. Concord, Ontario. Ajax, Ontario. Picking, Ontario. At one point when I was thirteen we moved to Central America, Nicaragua for 6 months, then back to Ajax, Ontario. I don't know if us moving around more than most kids helped to inspire my imagination but now that i'm writing this, maybe it did.
I liked to stay in my head a lot. My imagination was more interesting to me than what was actually happening around me.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing from when I was young. I would write stories when I was a kid and draw pictures to match the dialogue. As I got older, I got a little into Manga style books but I wasn't as talented with drawing.
